How to Manage Credit Builder Mode on Your Bits Account
Credit Builder mode is an innovative feature we've designed with your financial well-being in mind. It's aimed at helping you maintain a healthy credit utilization ratio, which is a crucial component of your credit score.
Understanding Credit Builder Mode
Here’s why Credit Builder mode can be beneficial for you:
Credit Utilization: It limits the use of your card to no more than 20% of your credit limit.
Credit Score Impact: Utilizing more than 20% of your credit limit can sometimes be viewed unfavorably by credit reference agencies, which may impact your credit score negatively.
You're in Control
We understand that financial situations can vary greatly, and what works for one person might not work for another. That's why we’ve made it possible for you to control the Credit Builder mode according to your personal financial needs.

Confirm Your Choice: Follow any additional prompts to confirm that you want to deactivate this feature.
Best Practices:
We encourage you to manage the Credit Builder mode in alignment with your financial objectives. While this feature can be beneficial for building or maintaining a good credit score, you may decide to deactivate it based on your current financial situation and goals.
